Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# scheduler
aaa-authentication password X12y34Z56a
Step 3
switch(config)# scheduler
aaa-authentication password 0 X12y34Z56a
Step 4
switch(config)# no scheduler
aaa-authentication password
Step 5
switch(config)#scheduler aaa-authentication
user newuser password Z98y76X54b
Step 6
switch(config)#scheduler aaa-authentication
user newuser password 0 Z98y76X54b
Step 7
switch(config)# no scheduler
aaa-authentication password user newuser
To display the scheduler password configuration for remote users, use the show running-config
command.
switch# show running-config | include "scheduler aaa-authentication"
scheduler aaa-authentication username newuser password 7 "C98d76S54e"
The scheduler remote user passwords are always displayed in encrypted form in the show

running-config command output. The encrypted option (7) in the command exists to support applying
the ASCII configuration to the switch.
Defining a Job
To define a job, you must specify the job name. This action places you in the job definition (config-job
submode. In this submode, you can define the sequence of CLI commands that the job has to perform.
Be sure to exit the config-job submode to complete the job definition.

Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide
19-4
Job configuration files created using MDS NX-OS or SAN-OS releases before Cisco MDS NX-OS
Release 4.1(1b) are not supported. However, you can edit the job configuration file and combine the
commands within a job into a single line using a semicolon (;).
You must exit the config-job submode for the job definition to be complete.
You cannot modify or remove a command after exiting the config-job submode. To make changes,
you must explicitly delete the defined job name and then reconfigure the job with new commands.
